Yesterday was an amazing day at 's annual Paint & Brush Event! Our members had a wonderful time expressing their creativity and celebrating together.

Thank you so much for having us. We’re grateful to have been part of such a joyful and inspiring event! 🌈🎨✨

What an amazing turnout we had at our Broadway Inspirational Voices Paint & Sip last Friday! It is always wonderful having BIV host another event with us, especially as we kick off our Pride Month celebrations.

Our members had a fantastic time dancing, painting, sharing a meal, and being in community with one another. As always, did an outstanding job facilitating the event.

A special thank-you goes to Canvas Cultures LLC for leading the Paint & Sip and providing our members with such a wonderful experience.

If you are interested in joining us for our next event, please reach out to our Program Coordinator, Melissa Parke, [email protected] for more information.

This Monday, we celebrated our final Art with Members continued working on their pieces and had the opportunity to frame their completed artwork at the end of the class.

Throughout the eight-week workshop, participants explored a variety of creative mediums, developed new artistic skills, and created pieces that reflected their unique perspectives and artistic expression.

We are incredibly grateful to and for their dedication and support throughout the 8-weeks!
